Dorsett by Agora Osaka Sakai (address: 3-1-1 Ohamakitamachi, Sakai-ku, Sakai City, Osaka; General Manager: Masaki Fujita; 321 rooms) has partnered with the city-type dolphin encounter facility "Noah Dolphin Dome" to open reservations, starting today, July 29, 2026 (Wednesday), for a stay plan that includes close-up dolphin viewing. The hotel has also introduced the "Dorsett 26-Hour Stay," available only through bookings on its official website, which lets guests stay for up to 26 hours from their preferred check-in time — enjoying a relaxed hotel stay without watching the clock, even after a full day with the dolphins.
A Stay Plan With Admission to Noah Dolphin Dome
A short walk from the hotel, Noah Dolphin Dome lets guests observe dolphins up close and enjoy a range of programs, including feeding experiences and Dolphin Swim, where guests can swim alongside the dolphins. At the hotel, waterfront dining experiences such as afternoon tea and barbecue with sea views are also available. After spending time with the dolphins, guests can make use of the official-site-only "Dorsett 26-Hour Stay" to unwind at their own pace, from activities to dining, without worrying about the time.
During training time, guests can watch the dolphins up close, along with feeding and other hands-on encounters enjoyable for both children and adults.
Located on the waterfront of the former Sakai Port, the 321-room hotel is the largest bayside hotel in Sakai City.
